Dear Friends of China,
The calligraphy was pretty cool. It is amazing that all of those lines mean something. In the very first picture I could see a dragon. The third one looked like a bike to me. It must be hard for you to write. You even know English! You speak it so well. I really liked Long han feng yi. That’s all I wanted to say.
